ASTM Industrial Safety Standards

International Industrial Safety & Hygiene Standards

In industries where worker safety is mission-critical, ASTM industrial safety and hygiene standards offer a unified, proven foundation for risk mitigation. With standards for protective equipment, exposure monitoring, ergonomic design, and more—combined with digital access via Compass and recognition across accreditation and regulatory regimes—these standards equip organizations to create safer, healthier, and more reliable workplaces.

ASTM industrial safety standards enable professionals to recognize, assess, and control physical, chemical, and environmental hazards—ensuring safer environments, regulatory alignment, and operational excellence.

These standards encompass protocols for protective clothing, ergonomic design, ventilation systems, hazard sampling, storage, and much more—creating a holistic framework that protects worker well-being.

For safety engineers, occupational hygienists, and facility managers, embracing ASTM safety standards is more than compliance—it’s a commitment to safety culture and risk resilience.
